Contact lens have been very helpful and giving me the best price and sometimes a discount. Don:t like the shipping charge for such a small box and the other charge.
Contact Lens King is a classic "bait and switch." They advertise contact lenses for a heavily-discounted price -- then when you go through checkout, they add a "processing fee" that nearly doubles the price. My final price for 10 boxes of contacts started at $237 then jumped to $455. The website explains the processing fee with a long, convoluted explanation about trying to generate "increased traffic" to their website. This is pure scam.
Good, with the exception of the lack of cooperation between lens king and Eye Optics. I had to go in the office to straighten the order out: nearly 2 weeks after the order was placed
They did their best with what both of us had to work with.
I used t be a regular customer until I couldn't get my contacts on time, so I started getting them from another website, last time I see that you guys had a better price, so I came back to buy them again with you, but ones again it took way too long to get them, so from now on I'll go to the other company.
HI Monica. Thank you for ordering with Contact Lens King. I apologize you feel it took too long to receive your lenses. As an authorized retailer and your lenses being custom made, we order directed with the manufacturer. We do our best to get them in as soon as possible but where your lenses are custom made they do tend to take a few extra days to receive in. We appreciate your business and hope you look to us for your next purchase.
Great experience and price! The site was easy to use and was self explanatory. I could ask for a faster service and price for my type of contact lenses!
Happy with the process and product but the handling fees were quite high. Would have been nice to see those earlier in the process to determine the real cost.
HI J. V. We do apologize for the processing fee. Unfortunately with our processing fee it is something we have put in place to help offset any overhead cost we may incur due to the advertising, the fee is a percentage of the box pricing. We do mention the fee on the product page as well as broken down in the cart.
I don't like the hidden "processing fee". It would be more honest to add it to the price per box so it will be visible from the beginning. Don't play games with your customers.
I found your website very difficult to navigate … I had trouble inputting data and the paying. The gal who helped me twice was extremely cordial and helped me place the order.
I called twice for website assistance… both times she was very helpful… she finally helped me place the order over the phone.
Used them before.
HI Dot. We do apologize if you had trouble submitting the order online. If you advise specifically what you were having trouble inputting we can further address this.
It would be great if you had feature that allowed your customers to reorder contacts. You have a reorder button but it doesn't allow me to click on my order to reorder it.:-(
Hi Marcia. Thank you for ordering with Contact Lens King. Once you click on the reorder button it will display all your previous orders. You need to select the order you wish to purchase again and add the items to the cart. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.
The price is great, the offerings are great, I called in to make sure my order was correct and the personal touch I received was amazing. Thanks again
Best service, price, and selection available today
HI Jeff. Thank you for ordering with Contact Lens King and for the review! I have passed this along to the agent who helped you. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.
Fast delivery and received just what I ordered. Thanks again
My order was placed over the phone. The rep was courteous and professional. The lens were received within days. I am satisfied with the service, delivery and product.
I paid for one day delivery but received them 4 days later, I was supposed to take them with me out of the country, now I have to find someone to take them
HI Susana. Thank you for ordering with Contact Lens King. Upon looking into your order history I see you placed the order on 3/9 at 5:05pm, which is after our business hours. On (Friday) 3/10 we were able to process and ship your order out. When you placed the order and selected overnight delivery a pop-up is displayed explaining that overnight delivery starts when we dispatch the lenses from the warehouse and is for weekday delivery only. Therefore, letting you know the package would not arrive on the weekend. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.
I was a bit taken aback by the new pricing/advertising strategy; it was akin to a bait-&-switch operation. As a result I was forced to look across multiple locations for the same item.
Ultimately, my decision to purchase from CLK was due to the fact that I did not want to create an account with another company. That will not always be the case.
HI Jonathan. I do apologize. Recently, we’ve noticed that our competitors have introduced and implemented this tool, used as a means of allowing their upfront display prices on various online advertising channels to appear more competitive. As we know, when a company advertises at a lower price, there is increased traffic to their website. Upon the realization that this strategy was being used, we at Contact Lens King stood firmly against applying such a practice. However, in spite of the fact that we offer the lowest bottom line prices, we experienced a decrease in traffic and total orders. Through re-evaluation, and despite our discomfort, we have made the tough decision to adopt the practice as well. Contact Lens King is firmly committed to offering the lowest bottom line prices online, and we want our customers to rest assured that through us, you will always see significant savings in your pocketbook - even with the fee.
We totally understand that this additional fee can be frustrating, or even infuriating, but we invite you to compare our bottom line prices with our competitors. We promise we won’t disappoint you!
Easy and affordable. Wish the prices up front were the full price like before. They started doing the bait and switch like other websites. Still the most affordable out there.
Hi Nat. Thank you for ordering with Contact Lens King and for the feedback. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.
Product is great, prices are great. I would suggest not paying extra for next day shipping. It takes 4+ days to receive order regardless of the day of the week and/or time the order is placed.
Prices are considerable lower than other sites and in store purchases.
HI Jessica. Thank you for taking the time for leave a review. We do apologize if you paid for next day and did not receive it within that time. Upon looking into this your order shipped on a Friday, unfortunately as stated on our site delivery is only business days, we do not offer a weekend delivery.
Good. Good price and good customer service, though it was frustrating that I had to take additional steps due to a prescription that was more than a year old.
Low price, no shenanigans
Hi Esther. Thank you for ordering with Contact Lens King. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.
The delivery was delayed. One of the lenses is of poor quality. It does not stick and tends to pop out while the other one is really of amazing quality.

HI Durjoy. Thank you for ordering with Contact Lens King. Upon looking into your order, I see we shipped on 6/6 and per Canada Post it was delivered on 6/8 which is a quick delivery as standard is 2-4 business days. As an authorized retailer we order directly from the manufacturer and receive all products factory sealed. If you do come across any defectives please contact customer service directly at the time of the occurrence and we would be happy to assist you. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.
This website tricks customers with the supposedly low cost of contacts but they get you back with the extra processing fee and shipping cost and you end up with double the advertised cost.
Supposedly the discounted price.

I found the site easy to navigate, and it was easy to get clarification on the phone over a misunderstanding. It was a very pleasant experience, and I am happy with the product.
Doctor recommendation.

HI David. We do apologize for the delay. We did ship the order on 12/16 via USPS first class mail, which is typically delivered within 4-7 business days. Tracking states the package was delivered on 12/27, which was the 7th business day.
Very easy to enter my prescription and Dr. contact info. They took care of the rest as my Dr. office delayed in emailing me my script. Iwas pleased with the experience and prompt delivery,
Lowest cost

Great... great... great! I have been using them since 2020. I have been impressed with their customer service, expedient delivery, and reasonable prices.
Cheap prices
Easy website - friendly reps. My order was temporarily lost by my mail carrier and the customer service rep I talkedto at Contact Lens King was very nice and easy to work with and eager to help me.
HI Toni. Thank you for ordering with Contact Lens King and for the review! We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.
Easy, cheap and fast.
THE ONLY THING I DON'T LIKE IS THEY DIDN'T TOLD ME THE SPECIFIC DAY ORTIME TO BE DELIVERED AND THE PACKAGE ESTAYS ALL DAY SIT IN THE SUN... NO GOOD FOR THE PRODUCT.
OTHER THAN THAT EVERYTHING WAS VERY GOOD, PRICE, TIME, PRODUCT... 100
Easy, cheap and fast
Good experience, quick delivery. I can't fill 50 words, there shouldn't be a minimum. Very basic. I saw it, I ordered, it came through. No complaints.
HI Kevin. Thank you for ordering with Contact Lens King and for the feedback. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.
Customer service replied promptly, but I suggest letting customers know at the momento of purchase if their prescription has expired (not hours later via email).
Already described
HI Laura. Thank you for ordering with Contact Lens King. If you place the order online yourself we will not know that minute if your prescription is expired. We will notify you when we verify your prescription in the order it was received. If you place the order over the phone one of our agents will discuss that with you at that time of the order being placed. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.
Gain trust and grow your business with customer reviews.
HI Douglas. Thank you for ordering with Contact Lens King. Looking into your order, I see our team did as you requested and sent a fax verification request to your doctors office on your order. They sent the request back stating one of the products was incorrect. At that point we did reach out to you advising of the discrepancy. Looks like it was all finally corrected with your updated prescription that you needed to get from your doctors. I apologize for any inconvenienced you faced. We appreciate your business and look forward to serving you in the future.
